He explained that the Safety Commission met in a special session on Monday, October 13, 1975 to consider this matter, It is their recommendation that: 1. The City Council authorize emergency measures to install, at the earliest possible time~ a traffic signal at this crossing. 2. In the interim, a Four-Way Stop be instituted and, if necessary, appropriate "No Left Turn" signs and a reduction in speed.

They are in the process of preparing a report for the Councilt Mr. Robens replied to the Safety Commission's recommendations stating that City Council Meeting 2 October 14~ 1975 (1) his staff is in the process of preparing a list of traffic signals on a priority basis based on objective evaluations using recognized standards of which the primary concern of the standards is safety, This report will analyze 25 intersections in the City, and will be ready in mid-November. To install a traffic signal at this intersection would cost between $25,000 and $30,000~ (2) As to the Four-Way Stop, Mr. Robens was unsure as to its effectiveness commenting that perhaps in the long run, the effect would be beneficial.

Rohr School approximately 4000 signatures requesting immediate installation of an electrical signalization system at this intersection.

HIGGS OF PLANNING Toyon Lane in the R~I zone~ one without the COMMISSION APPROVAL OF VARIANCE required 60 foot of frontage~ the other with- TO JOSEPH AND MICHAEL BUSH FOR out the required 110 foot lot depth for lots REDUCTION IN STREET FRONTAGE adjacent to major streets (E Street)~ Certain AND LOT DEPTH FOR PROPER%% residents on Toyon Lane disagreed with the AT TOYON LANE AND "E" STREET Planning Commission's decision and are appealing the Council to reverse the decision and deny the variance., Planning Director Peterson submitted a plat noting the property in question. He recom- mended that the Council uphold the decision of the Planning Commission in approving the variance subject to certain conditions. Public hearing opened ?]nis being the time and place as advertised~ Mayor Hamilton opened the public hearing. Roger Hitchcock, Attorney Mr. Hitchceck said he was representing Higgs, Fletcher and Mack Florence J~ Higgs~ He discussed the four San Diego findings that the Council must make in granting a variance. He noted that one of the reasons as delineated by the staff was that the property owner was harmed by this government's action in the construction of "E" Street, Mr~ Hitchcock stated that when a government body condemns land for right- of-way, adequate compensation is paid to the property owner, In this particular situation~ there is a steep slope over which the City holds an easement (15 feet wide) so that the actual usable private property is substantially less than that depicted on the plat~ Mr.~ Hitchcock described the neighborhood as semi-rural homes remote and isolated from other portions of Chula Vista surrounding it. He asked the Council to recognize that adequate conrpen- sation was granted to the property owner for the right-of-way and to consider the char- acter of the neighborhood. DeWitt Higgs Mr. Higgs said he bought his home here 20 12 Toyon Lane years ago mainly because of the character of Chula Vista the neighborhood, At that time, "E" Street was a dead-end street. He spoke of the substandard lots which would be created by any criteria which could be applied. He declared that the Council must find justi- fication in granting the variance and the only reason brought forth this evening was the economic one. Council discussion Council discussion followed regarding the charge of substandard lots and the lot depth allowed by ordinance. Director of Planning Peterson explained that the lot depth backing up to a major thoroughfare is required to be 110 feet; the westerly parcel does not meet that criteria - it is 72 feet. The easterly City Council Meeting 5 October 14~ 1975 parcel is the street frontage variance; however, the primary criteria is whether the lot size is subst~nBard as compared with the minimum lot size in the zoning district which is 7,000 square feet. Mr, Peterson further stated that even if one house were built on this lot~ it would still have to be termed substandard according to the zoning definition. Petition noted The City Clerk noted the petition received signed by four property owners on this street requesting that the variance be denied~ Hazel Gove Mrs. Gove asked that the variance be granted, 30 Toyon Lane stating that her home is the only one whose Chula Vista living room faces onto those lots. It is a bunch of weeds and used as a Lovers~ Lane in the evenings~ There are a great number of cars coming up this road during the days and turning around. Joseph Bush Mr. Bush said he is one of the proposed 4554 Cresta Verde Lane developers of the property. He noted that Bonita "E" Street is 80 feet wide and Toyon was to have been a continuation of that street. Twelve feet of Toyon has been dedicated for "E" Street ~nd this leaves 68 feet. He stated that having the two homes here would act as a shield in abating the noise factor and the proposed landscaping would improve the area. Discussion regarding In answer to the Council's questions, Director building sites of Planning Peterson estimated that one lot would have between 8,000 and 9~000 square feet of relatively level area and the other lot would have approximately 12,000 square feet of level area. The whole property is 9/10s of an acre. Motion to bring back It was moved by Councilman Egdahl and resolution seconded by Councilman Hyde that a resolution be brought back sustaining the findings and action of the Planning Commission in granting the variance subject to the six conditions listed (Resolution No. PCV-75-13). Discussion of motion Councilman Scott discussed one of the findings dealing with the hardship of the property which stated that the shape ~nd topography of the lot were the result of the realignment of "E" Street in 1963 which rendered the property difficult to develop. Councilman Scott felt that the property owner was compensated for this dedication.
